According to a report from renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) with a USB Type-C port may be released in Q3 2023. This is exciting news for Apple users who have been waiting for a more universal charging option for their AirPods.

The AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) will be the successor to the first generation AirPods Pro, which was released in 2019. These earbuds were praised for their active noise cancellation, comfortable fit, and seamless integration with Apple devices.

While the current AirPods Pro model uses a proprietary Lightning port for charging, the new model will have a USB Type-C port. This means that users will be able to charge their AirPods Pro using the same cable that they use for their smartphones, laptops, and other devices that have a USB Type-C port.

This move towards USB Type-C charging is part of a larger trend in the tech industry toward universal charging standards. This will make it easier for users to charge their devices, as they won’t need to carry around multiple charging cables or adapters.

In addition to the news about the AirPods Pro (2nd Gen), the upcoming iOS 16.4 update includes a reference to new AirPods model numbers and a charging case. This suggests that there may be more than one new AirPods model coming in the near future.

While there is no official word yet on what these new AirPods models might be, there have been rumors that Apple is working on a third-generation AirPods model, as well as a new entry-level model that will replace the current AirPods (2nd Gen) in the company’s lineup.
